Using M & M's candies, young statisticians predict the color distribution in a packet of candies and test their predictions against their group and the larger class. A review of converting between fractions, decimals, and percents...

Upper elementary and middle schoolers explore the concept of probability. In this probability lesson, pupils flip coins and draw chips out of a bag to determine the likelihood of a particular outcome. They perform the experiments with...

Coordinate planes and Cartesian graphing systems are the focus of this math lesson. Learners use video, internet activities, and engage in hands-on activities in order to explore coordinate planes. The materials needed for this lesson...

In this probability worksheet, students answer 6 online probability questions in fraction form and check their answers when they are finished.  

The hunt is on! Young mathematicians follow clues and complete a series of ten math puzzles as they try to crack Dr. Integer's code and find the location of his hidden treasure.

Students sort, classify, and graph M & M's. They create pictographs and bar graphs with the colors and numbers in each bag of M & M's. They calculate the ratio and probability based on class results.

Learners examine the relationship between probability and geometry to solve problems. In this geometry and probability instructional activity, students investigate the effect of changing percentages on a spinner to the probability of...

Students use playing cards to examine probability. In this probability lesson, students work in groups with a deck of cards and predict if the next card they lay down will be high or low. Students fill out a graphic organizer with their...

In this probability learning exercise, students solve 6 word problems where they determine the probability of certain outcomes that occur when spinning different spinners, rolling dice, choosing events and hitting targets.

Elementary schoolers find out which month has the most class birthdays (mode) and which birthday represents the middle point of all the birthdays (median). They gather and organize data to find one number that fairly represents the whole...

Upper graders examine the concept of probability. They collect data and create a bar graph. They must interpret the data as well. Everyone engages in hands-on games and activities which lead them to predict possible outcomes for a...

Students discover how to use the probability of winning to determine if a game is fair or not.  In this probability lesson, students watch a video and analyze the probability of winning and losing different versions of the game...

Students explore possible outcomes. In this math lesson, students list the possible pizza combinations they could offer on the menu of their new pizza shop. Students

A hands-on simulation perfect for an economics lesson, young learners investigate the availability of different sources of natural energy (coal, natural gas, oil, solar, and nuclear) and how this availability affects their cost....

Few things can motivate children to learn like the promise of a sweet and tasty treat. Given a bag of M&M®s, Skittles®, or other colorful candy, students first predict the contents of the bag before counting the pieces,...

Young scholars learn that heredity comes down to the flip of a coin with this cross-curricular math and science lesson. Using smiley faces as a model, students toss coins to determine which dominant or recessive traits...
